            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 47_TRANSPORTATION--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart 47.3_Transportation in Supply Contracts
 
Sec.  47.301-3  Using the Defense Transportation System (DTS).

    (a) All military and civilian agencies shipping, or arranging for 
the acquisition and shipment by Government contractors, through the use 
of military-controlled transport or through military transshipment 
facilities shall follow Department of Defense (DOD) Regulation 4500.32-
R, Military Standard Transportation and Movement Procedures (MILSTAMP). 
MILSTAMP establishes uniform procedures and documents for the 
generation, documentation, communication, and use of transportation 
information, thus providing the capability for control of shipments 
moving in the DTS. MILSTAMP has been implemented on a world-wide basis.
    (b) Contracting activities are responsible for (1) ensuring that the 
requirements of the MILSTAMP regulation are included in appropriate 
contracts for all applicable shipments and (2) enforcing these 
requirements with regard to shipments under their control. This includes 
requirements relating to documentation, marking, advance notification of 
shipment dates, and terminal clearances.
    (c) Contractual documents shall designate a contract administration 
office (see 42.202(a)) as the contact point to which the contractor will 
provide necessary information to (1) effect MILSTAMP documentation and 
movement control, including air or water terminal shipment clearances, 
and (2) obtain data necessary for shipment marking and freight routing. 
Contractual documents shall specify that the contractor shall not ship 
directly to a military air or water port terminal without authorization 
from the designated contract administration office (see 47.305-6(f)).
